EEM script using SNMP set-type string and a variable does not work for me

[chappiechap]

When I use these actions on my EEM script:

action 81 info type snmp oid 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 set-type string "$_string_result" community private

action 82 snmp-trap strdata "$_string_result"

I get my OID value set to $_string_result instead of the real value stored on that variable ("whatever test string"). But then I get a trap (action 82) that is showing the value of the variable just right!

OID:

C:\usr\bin>snmpwalk.exe -v2c -c private 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: $_string_result

TRAP:

C:\usr\bin>snmpwalk.exe -v2c -c private 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.91.1.2.3.1
.11.15
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.10.91.1.2.3.1.11.15 = STRING: "whatever test string"

Is it possible that you cannot load variables using snmp set-type or something I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

This is a known issue.  Variable expansion was never coded in these SNMP actions.  If you convert your applet to Tcl using http://www.marcuscom.com/convert_applet then you will be able to do the variable modification.
